Hi guys, I'm trying to set up a sensible fan curve for my rig but I'm finding a bit of a bind - not helped by the fact that I always end up starting a fresh every time I update my bios. Spec in sig. I just want something quiet but effective when idle/doing light work and then something more...

Hi guys, As above, what's the recommended placement/location in the home for this kit? I've recently upgraded to 300MB fibre and I'd ideally like to be able to achieve this around the home. I've got the X60 kit, 3 nodes but I might pick up another single if I can't improve things with what...

Thanks all! I'm kinda getting used to it now :)

Something like this:

Hi guys, What's the situation with regards to graphics with this one? I've only played about half an hour but it seems to be a bit of a mixed bag... It looks great for the most part but on some close ups, walls and fixings etc., the graphics look shocking - like something from the SVGA days...

Really that bad eh? I'll investigate the other suggestions then. Thanks guys!

Hi guys, I'm about to leave Vodafone after a few years now (using their kit) and go with a local fibre provider. They provide a very basic hub by all accounts. I'm after a new router, I haven't bought my own kit since dsl days, back then I was on stuff from D-Link/Netgear/Billion etc., but I...

Interesting... do you have a Recovery partition out of interest?

From what I'm observing only my Bitlocker enabled boot drive, Win 10 machines are affected. I think MS have published some fix instructions that involve adjusting the recovery partition size? Probably end up giving that a test at the weekend...

So is this fixed now? I haven't had 10 build on for a week or so now but it was definitely there the last time I checked. I was hoping it'd just go away on its own :D

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I've just turned off 'Desktop' on the hobby build for now. And fair point, I've got a spare 365 account, I might use that on the hobby build.

Yep, noticed this last night... Think we're just going to have to ride it out until MS fixes :)

Hi guys, Just had the post login screen (Windows 10) from MS asking to consider OneDrive backup etc. on one of my hobby builds - I subscribe to 365. I hit yes in haste and now I 'm getting my main (Windows 11) build's desktop icons on my hobby build's desktop... anyway to set this so my...

Cool! I'm in the same situation as the OP. So Veeam is a good alternative then?

Genius. I'll try that at the weekend... I had some (auto) pry tools lined up to test. I guess I could even use some coated hooks, hopefully reducing the risk of any potential damage. A mate also suggested wrapping some ptfe tape around a hooked pick. I could also try that. Thanks all!

Hi guys, As above, what's the deal with removing this heatsink? I fitted one a few weeks back but I've got a chip I need test and I've got to remove it. How does one remove the center fan in order to access the retaining screws? Without damaging in the supporting wires ideally. There must be...

Thanks guys! Think it may have resolved itself anyway... once I got to the insurer, via the comparison site, I was able to amend the start date without penalty. So it's probably worth a check if anyone's in a similar predicament? I genuinely can't believe how much premiums have increased this...

Hi guys, Insurance time... I've done some quotes (which I've saved, fortunately) that start at the end of the month, 31/10, but my current premium doesn't end until the 08/11. Is it legal/okay to buy a new premium that starts at the end of the month and have it running concurrently with last...

I haven't tried it for a couple of weeks but the last time I ran it, it worked but I was actively working on my PC the whole time. I've got a sneaky suspicion that Malwarebytes Premium might also be conflicting with it. I'll try again this weekend and also see if my Windows 11 hobby build...

5700x. All day :D
